Upgrade not available

[Giuserver]

On all my cameras, the update button doesn't seem to work.

+1 , current ver 0.2.9 , same thing

[Giuserver]

maybe @roleoroleo can explain 😊

I think it's the same probem described here: https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-MStar/issues/526#issuecomment-1868063986

A bug in the busybox wget. I need to check it. If you need to upgrade the fw, use the manual procedure described in the wiki.

for me it shows /root is only-read system following what the wiki says

root@Yi36:/tmp# mv y21ga_0.3.0.tgz /root/ mv: can't create '/root/y21ga_0.3.0.tgz': Read-only file system

I allowed myself to do an update like this only once and i broke everything 😅 we're waiting for the restore.. which I believe will happen on the server side. Also because i don't have the possibility to take the camera manually

Manual update procedure mentioned here https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-MStar/wiki/Manual-firmware-upgrade says:

Copy the file in the root folder of the sd card.

ROOT FOLDER OF SD CARD is not /root

Working "remote" procedure:

1. Download latest firmware. On my PC I'm using simple wget command: wget https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner-v2/releases/download/0.3.0/y21ga_0.3.0.tgz
2. Upload downloaded firmware to camera's SD card root /tmp/sd but with changed version number to x letters: scp y21ga_0.3.0.tgz scp://root@192.168.177.187//tmp/sd/y21ga_x.x.x.tgz
3. Press Upgrade Firmware button

@roleoroleo Like you said before - there is no https support in wget nor any other utility available on camera. How upgrade works before ?

EDIT: I've just added openssl package and enabled CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_OPENSSL=y busybox wget option. Now busybox's wget spawn openssl binary to perform download:

31721 root       972 T    ./busybox1 wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner-v2/releases/download/0.3.0/y21ga_0.3.0.tgz
31725 root         0 Z    [openssl]
31767 root      3772 T    openssl s_client -quiet -connect objects.githubusercontent.com:443 -servername objects.githubusercontent.com

Now only cosmetic fixes with ca-certificates bundle needed. @roleoroleo should I continue my efforts and create PR ?

Correct. I added a new note to the wiki page.

@roleoroleo Like you said before - there is no https support in wget nor any other utility available on camera. How upgrade works before ?

Simply wget ignores certificates. I think the problem is harder than it appears. It's not true that wget doesn't work anymore with https. It you try another site, maybe it works:

root@yi-hack-h52ga:~/bin# wget https://www.google.com
Connecting to www.google.com (142.250.180.132:443)
wget: note: TLS certificate validation not implemented
saving to 'index.html'
index.html           100% |***************************************************************************************************************************************************************| 18141  0:00:00 ETA
'index.html' saved

I think it's related to https + forward.

Now only cosmetic fixes with ca-certificates bundle needed. @roleoroleo should I continue my efforts and create PR ?

It depends on how big the openssl binary is. Because I would like to find the same solution for all platforms (MStar, Allwinner and Allwinner-v2) and there is a big space constraint in MStar and Allwinner.

[niziak]

Unstripped openssl + shared libs:

576K openssl
2,3M libcrypto.so.1.1
492K libssl.so.1.1

Plus default ca certs bundle ~200K. Bundle can be reduced to Github related certs. I can try to remove some features and link it statically. Many years ago static OpenSSL size was around 900kB. If it will be possible to get binary around 1-1.2 MB will it be big or OK for other platforms? Another approach is to remove online checking and provide simple "upload firmware" button on web page ?

[roleoroleo]

1.2 MB it's big. I have to do some calculations...

[roleoroleo]

It seems that bb 1.36.1 should fix the problem. I will try asap.

EDIT

Confirmed. After update to 1.36.1 it works.

1. Download latest firmware. On my PC I'm using simple wget command: `wget https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner-v2/releases/download/0.3.0/y21ga_0.3.0.tgz`

2. Upload downloaded firmware to camera's SD card root `/tmp/sd` but with changed version number to `x` letters: `scp y21ga_0.3.0.tgz scp://root@192.168.177.187//tmp/sd/y21ga_x.x.x.tgz`

3. Press `Upgrade Firmware` button

done the steps, but copied to SD with card reader on PC.

after reboot still no update possible.

[pannal]

after reboot still no update possible.

Yes it is, rename the file's version numbers to x, e.g.: r30gb_0.3.0.tgz -> r30gb_x.x.x.tgz

did this as stated before, but not working

[Giuserver]

Solved with last version

[TungstenE2]

Solved with last version

great, but how to update, if OTA and manual does not work?

[roleoroleo]

Manual upgrade must work. Please try again.

In any case, you can format the sd card and create it again with the new version. Backup the configuration.

Work without problems :)

How can I do the update manually? Do you mean, format the sd card and paste it new version?

[roleoroleo]

Check the wiki.

[JoseAlcerreca]

This method worked but note that you can also use the FTP to upload the file if extracting the sd card is cumbersome.
